    I ordered a few things from them last week to save on shipping cause their shipping is super cheap. Well according to the tracking number they gave me, fedex delivered it, but it wasn't delivered. I called Foster and Smith to see whats up, and they called fedex and they told me to wait till today to see if it got mixed up(3 days after fedex said it was delivered) I called them this morning to see if fedex figured out what te prob was, and they said fedex is still investigating it and they are going to reship my stuff today so I dont have to wait around on fedex. Its hard to believe companies still have that kind of customer service. They said if duplicates show up, to let them know, and they'll take care of everything.

    So I HIGHLY reccommend fosters and smith to anyone and everyone! Drs Foster and Smith

    I had a similar positive experience. My big bucket of salt I ordered from them never showed up, so they shipped me a new one, no questions asked. It's nice to know that there still are a few large companies with good customer service.

    I love their shipping on buckets of salt, 1 5g bucket shipping is $9.99, 100 5g buckets is $17.99. Gotta love their $17.99 cut off on shipping.

    One of our sponsors has excellent customer service as well. Premium Aquatics has bent over backwards to please me over the years.

    BTW, since I'm discussing sponsors, make sure when you visit them you use the banner ads at the top or the sponsor page. That's how the sponsors know that supporting 3Reef is worth their advertising dollar.
